    Arbroath

    As the April 6th anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath is almost here I would appreciate knowing the correct pronunciation of Arbroath.
    Is it ar broth or ar bro ath or something totally different?

    Ar-broath
    Accent on second syllable, broath to rhyme with "oath".
    Was originally Aberbrothock which suggests it may have had a Pictish origin.
